Anatomy of a losing streak: What’s gone wrong?

There is nothing going right for the Pittsburgh Penguins right now.

After jumping out to a 5-2 lead on Tuesday night, they watched as the Boston Bruins stormed back with four consecutive goals to extend their current losing streak to five consecutive games, erasing what was a very promising 4-0-1 start to the season.

Regardless of whether or not it is a long-term cause for concern, it is still an ugly stretch of hockey where nothing has gone right. Now they have to play their third set of back-to-backs in a week on Wednesday night when they travel to Buffalo to play a young, fast Sabres team to try again to end their losing streak.
